Kinda want to see them to try and fail. I think proof of Russian nuclear deterrence impotency would be game-changing.

Discord? Huh, my first thought was WarThunder.

You’re right, completely glossed over his 3-day golf weekends.

On June 26, 2014, in a 9–0 ruling, the United States Supreme Court validated this practice of using pro forma sessions to block the president from using the recess appointment authority

Can’t do recess appointments if the senate is never in recess. When was the last recess appointment made? 2012, and it was ruled invalid.

This makes no sense anyway. The Senate will be Republican-controlled by four votes before he takes office. So he’s worried about Republicans blocking his nominees? Or is he asking for an ally that’ll put the Senate into recess immediately so he can recess appoint hundreds of people? I doubt even his staunchest allies will be willing to publicly neuter themselves so much.

I expect he’ll do what he spent his last term doing; spend half the day watching Fox News and rage-tweeting, go downstairs for some photo-ops and sign whatever his staff puts in front of him, get whatever it was challenged and (sometimes) blocked in court, and then, if he’s feeling insufficient attention, make a bunch of pronouncements that’ll catch everyone by surprise and then never follow up on it.

Perception isn’t reality, but it’s just as important. You have to do great things for the working class, and then tell them, with examples, both how you helped and how the Republicans would have screwed them. Repeatedly. No room for kid gloves.

Also does not include amounts. It’s easy to cause a spike in results when there aren’t many to begin with.

Better not be. He’s 100% a corporate suit.

No, watch, they’ll run someone like Gavin Newsom in 4 years.

Every time I see this headline I think it’s saying Jill Stein, and I’m very confused.

Weird.

This headline, and others like it, that make him sound credible. Instead of “Trump lies about xxxxx” they make it sound like a difference of opinion.

Where is Lt. Aldo Raine when we need him?

I just stopped watering mine. I also live in an area where grass dies quickly without copious irrigation, which should have been the first clue to the previous homeowners to maybe not grow grass.

I fully support his being eligible to vote, regardless of past convictions, even if they were for treasonous, seditious behavior.

He should not be eligible to run for office.

Convicted felons should be eligible to vote, whether in prison or not, because as you said, anyone still affected by politics should have a voice. This also includes children, undocumented immigrants, and resident aliens. Anyone living here is impacted by the choices of our representatives and should therefore be able to vote for those representatives. Physical presence should be the only requirement.

And the follow-up: Texas, Missouri judges deny requests to block DOJ from sending poll monitors

As an outside observer, it seems perfectly clear that he has no intent to see any more hostages returned alive.

Officials in Florida and Texas have said they won’t allow federal election monitors into polling sites on Tuesday. And on Monday, Missouri filed a federal lawsuit seeking a court order to block federal officials from observing inside polling places.

The Justice Department announced last week that it’s deploying election monitors in 86 jurisdictions across 27 states on Election Day. The Justice Department declined to comment on Monday on the Missouri lawsuit and the moves by other Republican-led states.

So, not being blocked yet, just announcing that they will try. How much do you want to bet that this is grandstanding by the state AGs? When the feds rock up to the volunteer county election officials with federal court orders to monitor polling and counting, you think the locals will refuse, in the face of felony charges? A few may, like that Kentucky county clerk who tried denying gay couples a marriage license post-Obergefell, but most won’t, despite what their state AG says, because they know they will be the ones facing charges, not the AGs.

The Election Research Institute is led by Heather Honey…

Based on their website, I’m pretty sure the Election Research Institute is Heather Honey.
